366 days of photos week 35

ok, i'm late, i'm having a crazy work week again.  having presentations really cramps my style. ;o)
here we go...

day 236: sun 8/26

it rained!!!  i let q catch all the rain she could in all the pitchers & buckets we could find.  we ended up having to dump most of it because the mosquitos have been something fierce at our house & west nile has been positive in some that have been caught.  it was fun while it lasted & kept her busy for a while.  :o)

day 237: mon 8/27  FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!
can you guys believe it?!?  i have a SENIOR & a first grader!  crazy...  even hopp had a new daycare to go to so it was new places all the way around. 

showing off my popaganda ulta collection aka porno pink as we call it.  i loved the color in the bottle but it was really see through.  even with 3 layers i could still see through it.  i don't think i will buy ulta brand polish anymore. 

told you it was a busy week!  see those 2 stacks, that's over 660 invitations that needed to go out!  did it in 3 days with all the regular interruptions.

day 238: tue 8/28

ANGELS!!!  so sweet, q had her hand out touching hopp's arm.  yes, hopp sleeps like that all the time.  looks like her arm is about to break off!  poor baby on the floor never made it far in bed that night.  ;)

day 239: wed 8/29

you guys already saw this but it was my wip for the week.  it turned out so pretty as you will see or have seen already.  :o)

day 240: thurs 8/30  sorry no pic

day 241: fri 8/31

see i told you i would show it soon.  :) 

day 242: sat 9/1
 

this was what i was going to drink that night but i was waiting on jess to see if she needed a ride & by the time she got home it was too late & we went to bed.  but let me tell you, coconut rum & coke zero are yummy together!!!  as you can tell, these are my instagram pics except for one.  i'm going to start using them because i like the filters & features.  if you want to follow me just look for stephannis :o)

  ok, that's all for that week.  on to next week but it will have to wait just a tad bit longer.  :)

366 days of photos week 27

can you believe we are in the second half of the year officially?  crazy huh?!?  so you know what that means... christmas is just around the corner!!! :o)  well while you think about that, how about some pics from this last week.  i'm on a roll!

hopp being silly on the couch

this one is so funny, the look on her face when she flipped over.

day 181: 7/2 mon


tooth #4 for q!  look at those freckles!!!  love that face!!

day 182: 7/3 tues

we had a 4th of july celebration lunch at work & this is what i brought, even though it wasn't gf, i tried it & it was delish!!!  it's a poke cake & i got the recipe off betty crocker.  it's definitely a must try & you could use any jello for the "striped" coloring.  i'm definitely going to make this soon in the gf version.  oh & the frosting is cheesecake pudding & cool whip mixed together.  it's soooooo good by itself.  :o)

here are all the desserts.  the 3 layer cake on the left bottom corner & the dessert behind it, it was a captain america cheesecake, both won the desserts contest.  isn't the 3 layer cake gorgeous?!?

day 183 & 184: 7/4 wed & 7/5 thurs no pics...



day 185: 7/6 fri


holy cow!  that face!!!  she is so silly :o) this is what i'm getting when i ask for her to smile. 



day 186: 7/7 sat

i love that q is NOT afraid of creepy crawlers!  not for sure if you can tell what's in her hand but she had 3 baby frogs.  i think if you click on the pic & you can see them.  she was so happy!  we went to a family reunion about 10 minutes out of town & it was in the country & there are always tons of baby frogs when we go.  they were everywhere this year!  you had to watch where you stepped because they would just come out of the grass, they were so cute!  i even got hopp to look at one, she wasn't going to touch it though. 

on the way back home, both q & hopp fell OUT!  :o) i thought it was funny that hopp had on jason's hat.  look how sweet that little face is!!!

well that's it for this week.  i hope everyone has a great week!

366 days of photos week 8

hope everyone had a great week.  i enjoyed my short work week with pres day off.  gotta love holidays, especially when i get paid to be off.  :o)  {sorry for the delay, i took some pics with my lovely new asus tablet & couldn't get them to work when i tried to edit/add pics on the tablet, if you use the android system for your blogging please tell me how you do it.  it's so frustrating!!!  oh but i love my new toy!  thanks to the hubby :o)}

day 50: sun 2/19


i caught her reading green eggs & ham.  she is really getting good at this whole reading thing.  we can't go to the store or anywhere else where she is asking me what something is that she read on a package.  she will even spell something & ask me what it says & instead of me telling her i ask her to sound it out & almost every time she gets it exactly!  :o)  SUPER PROUD MOMMA MOMENT!!!



it's hard being a kiddo these days so it's always a good time for a nap!  these two are inseparable!  even in nap time they are always snuggled up!

day 51: mon 2/20

it was president's day & i had the day off.  to help keep the littlest one quiet, she went to daycare.  well i also had errands to run & so it was just me & q.  she enjoyed this day sooooo much!  we didn't do much.  we did mostly window shopping in the mall but she was so good that we stopped at claire's & got some earrings.  now i just need to find a good pinterest project for a jewelry holder with an earring tree type holder attached, something that can be mounted on the wall would be ideal.  if you have any ideas, let me know.  :o)

even though her face was blurry in this pic, it's my fave!  she is like this all the time!  she is my funny, happy, sensitive child.  i love her so much!  i will definitely be spending more one on one time with her...

day 52: tues 2/21

this is what they look like every time i go to bed.  either hopper is hogging the bed or they are spooning or even hopper on top of q.  it really struck me funny how q is crossing her arms.  i think she was channeling run dmc!  hopp looks like she is fencing or doing ballet.  :o)

close up of the arms crossed, face not so angry.  :o)

day 53: wed 2/22

we planted peonies two years ago, i think, & they are finally sprouting!  they are so weird looking, that burgundy color i didn't know what they were.  we planted peonies & bleeding hearts at the same time so i googled it & that's what peonies look like when they sprout.  :o)  i have updated pics for you, coming soon, they grow fast!  the girls were so excited & talk about them every time we walk up our front steps.

day 54: thur 2/23

it's that time of year again!!!  dittos came & went already, thank goodness!  this was all i had to sell this year & i think i sold everything!  i did get a few things back, still not for sure why but i gave them to my daycare lady so she can use them for accidents.  :o)  i didn't have clothes markers & this is so helpful when you are sorting & hanging them so you don't have to do it when you get there.  so i made my own.  :o)  all i did was use my index cards, we don't use them anymore, i cut a slit about 2/3 of the way up & then cut a square in the middle & then that's it!  it's so easy-peasy, not for sure i didn't come up with it earlier!  i have been doing this for over 5 or 6 years & i finally got it figured out!  i will be posting tips on how to price & sell your consignment items in case you want to do dittos later.  :o)

day 55: fri 2/24

q is now a neon twister!  she is on the local jump rope team.  she will not be eligible for the regionals team coming up in april but she will get plenty of practice in for next year.  i'm super stoked for her.  she can DOUBLE DUTCH!!!  she can't run in yet but if she gets her jump right on the first one she can dd for quite some time.  :o)

day 56: sat 2/25 no pics this day...  i have plenty for last week though. :o)
